Sushi Nishinokaze is an intimate, 8-seat Edomae sushiya in Montreal, led by Canada and Japan trained chef-owner Vincent Gee.

Nishinokaze, which translates to "West Wind," reflects his mission to showcase the pristine natural flavor of both local and imported wild seafood.

The foundation of our cuisine, the shari (sushi rice), is crafted using naturally grown rice and artisanal red vinegar sourced directly from the producers.

Our space was designed by acclaimed Montreal and Tokyo-born architects Justin Nguyen (David Adjaye, SHoP) and Taichi Kuma (Tailand, Kengo Kuma and Associates), blending old world and modern design language seamlessly.

As a “living gallery,” we present ancient and contemporary ceramics in their most beautiful state: in use. Our unparalleled collection, which changes monthly, spans over 5,000 years of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Middle Eastern, and Western pottery.

We offer a carefully curated selection of rare sake, Burgundy, Champagne, and natural wines.

Incredible experience & totally worth it. Every piece of tableware is carefully curated as is the art displayed. The food was honestly fantastic & it was a pleasure to witness the chef precise movements & mastery. Notably the tuna & Matane shrimps were really exceptional. The atmosphere is really calm & the noise level kept to a minimum which I really appreciated. I said jokingly to my husband that it's actually like going to the spa but you can actually eat & drink.
Service is efficient & discreet. It is worth noting that this is also a no tip establishment which is definitely very Japanese. On a personal note, I appreciated the Toto toilets, this is always a plus. We also has a little chat with the chef at the end of the meal, he is very friendly & we did exchange a few words about pottery, art, his life & upcoming Japan trip. A delicious evening,
we will definitely be back.

Nous avons vécu une expérience'omakase' exceptionnelle. Le chef & propriétaire, Vincent, est extrêmement accueillant & nous accompagne tout au long du service en nous expliquant la provenance de chaque produit & les techniques utilisées. Les sushis, pièces maîtresses du repas, mais aussi les plats de fruits de mer, sont d'une fraîcheur inégalée. Chaque couvert utilisé est une oeuvre d'art en soi & l'espace, intime & épuré, contribue à nous faire voyager le temps d'un repas. En plus des poissons & fruits de mer importés directement du Japon, Vincent fait une place aux produits locaux, tels que le crabe des neiges & la crevette de Matane (crue!) tout en conservant les techniques & codes de la cuisine japonaise qu'il traite avec un grand respect.

En somme, une expérience à vivre au moins une fois dans votre vie.
